Frigidaire FWT449GFS1 door boot removal

I wanted to take apart my Frigidaire FWT449GFS1 front load washer but my door boot/bellows is different than what is showing in the service manual (which is not specific to the model) The service manual shows the door boot held in with a spring - mine has no such spring. I was going to try to just peel off the bellows but thought I better check with the experts to see what I need to watch out for when I pry off the bellows. Tips, tricks?

Thanks for the manual Scott. I want to tighten all the screws in the outer drum because I have a slight leak. I assumed that I would have to take the from off to get at all the screws that hold the two drum halves together. But, since I now have to destroy a $60 part to do that, I think a Plan B is in order. Any suggestions?

And you don't have to replace these door boots just because you cut the glue points away to remove it!!!!

If you carefully cut each glue point with a razor knife there won't be any problems reattaching the old boot to the front panel.

Just a little drop of super glue at many points around the boot.

If you don't have a dryer stacked on top you should be able to get to all the tub bolts by removing the top panel like you have done and also the front access panel. You should be able to get to all the bolts, a couple will be kind of a tight reach but not really that bad.
